Diocese Memorial Mass for Pope Francis

The Funeral Mass for Pope Francis will take place on Saturday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m. (Rome time) in St. Peter’s Square. Following the Mass, the Holy Father’s coffin will be taken to St. Peter’s Basilica, and then to the Basilica of St. Mary Major for burial.

This Funeral Mass marks the beginning of the “Novendiales”, nine days of Requiem Masses offered for the repose of Pope Francis’ soul. Each day, a cardinal selected by the late pope will preside over Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica.

The Diocese of San José will hold a Memorial Mass for Pope Francis, celebrated by Bishop Oscar Cantú, on Tuesday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph. All are warmly invited to attend and join in prayer for the eternal rest of our Holy Father.
